| Description of the problem | The cvt transmission has gone into fail/safe mode 4 different times which restricts the vehicles ability to accelerate and limits the speed. 1st problem occurred in oct 2015 with 33,100 miles. When driven on the interstate,1 1/2 into drive car would not accelerate and i could not keep up with traffic. I contacted 2 dealerships lokey & courtesy that had no explanation, because no warning lights were on that meant there was not a problem. The 2nd problem i4 again. Very frightening again, asked nissan dealer. Again, no warning light no issue. April 2018. I was on i75 s when the vehicle suddenly began to lose speed. I knew what was happening and pulled over. A warning light did eliminate. I was not able to sustain 45 mph and stopped. I looked at the manual, it looked like a misfire or emission issue. No big deal, okay to keep driving per manual. If continue, see dealer. I did not know nissan knew about this issue since 2008. I drove my car home back to tampa at 9 pm. Had i been notified that this issue was not normal i would have had it towed home. 10;30pm i was on i75 n not able to maintain 45 mph. I was in a very dangerous situation. I was going 45 in a 70!! I had 1 idiot tail me for 1. 7 miles. I was put in that situation by nissan. I bought this car because the salesman fooled me into thinking i was buying a safe car. It is the opposite. Why is this acceptable. Nissan extended the warranty for 2008-2010 but not 2011??? 2011 clearly has the same issue. My car showed issues at 33,100 under warrantty but the dealer purposefully did not disclose the danger. I just paid $4589. 00 to have my transmission rebuilt. Only to have it break down within an hour of picking it up. Defective bearing. My car has been out of use for 1 week and counting. Nissan fails to help me nor take responsibility for the dangerous and potentially deadly situation. Nissan ripping us off. Stop now!! |
